According to the manufacturer Lipozene capsules can provide effortless weight loss without any need for a change in lifestyle.

The official website claims that ….”You can continue to eat your favorite foods” – “No change in exercise is required”

The company also claims to have sold over 20 million bottles of Lipozene and state it is “America’s no. 1 diet pill”.

Lipozene is easily purchased in the United States and Canada but more problematic (direct) in countries such as Australia. Scroll to the bottom of this review for information on how to buy Lipozene In Australia.

How the Formulation Works

Lipozene is designed to work as an appetite suppressant.

Weight gain and weight loss are both directly influenced by the amount of calories that are consumed and burned each day to provide energy. The average man requires around 2,500 calories each day (2,000 for women) and if the food eaten each day were to provide a similar amount of calories the present weight would be maintained. However, when people consume more calories than they need the extra calories are stored as body fat.

These fat stores remain until under-eating or an increased exercise level causes a lack of calories that is sufficient to initiate the fat burning process. So if someone was to only consume 1,500 calories per day, for instance, the body would be forced to burn fat because the amount of dietary-provided calories would be too low to maintain normal function. Cutting down on food can be hard though. Appetite suppressing formulations usually contain one or more ingredients that can (supposedly) help dieters to cut down on food without having to experience constant hunger pangs.

Lipozene contains only one active ingredient. It’s called glucomannan and a number of studies show it works.

What is Glucomannan?

Glucomannan is a form of soluble fiber obtained from the roots of an Asian plant. When exposed to water or other liquids the fibres quickly absorb the moisture and expand in the stomach, causing it to feel too full to eat much food. The ingredient is very popular with dieters and supplement manufacturers alike, so Lipozene is not by any means the only glucomannan product on the market.

According to the Lipozene website two capsules provide 1,500mg of glucomannan and some studies indicate this should be an effective dose. A full ingredient profile is not provided though, so it is possible the capsules may contain additional ingredients.

Scientific Studies

The Lipozene website mentions an independent study conducted on “Lipozene’s exclusive formula”, where study participants apparently lost weight without making changes to their daily lifestyle. No obvious links to this study are provided, but the site adequately references several studies that were conducted on glucomannan.

In one eight-week study, the results of which were published in the International Journal of Obesity (1984), the participants were given 1,000mg of glucomannan, three times each day, before eating their meals. They were also given strict instructions to refrain from making any changes to their normal routine (diet, level of exercise). After eight weeks the mean weight loss recorded was 5.5lbs.

How to Use Lipozene

Two (750mg) capsules should be swallowed with 8oz. of water half-an-hour to an hour before eating a meal. A maximum of six capsules are permissible each day.

The manufacturer states no change in lifestyle is required, but anyone who burns off more calories via regular exercise is bound to attain improved results and healthy food choices are always preferable to unhealthy ones.

Customer Feedback & Testimonials

The Lipozene website provides some customer comments and video testimonials that suggest Lipozene is an effective weight loss product. One woman claims to have lost 90lbs. in 12 months, but the site’s small-print provides a disclaimer that points out the results obtained are not typical and were attained by using the capsules in combination with diet and exercise. The disclaimer also reveals the individuals in question were paid for their time.

The fact that Lipozene is also available via Amazon.com has allowed for a great deal of customer feedback and many Amazon customers are less than bowled-over by the product.

One customer states:

“I believe the commercial claims made for Lipozene are complete garbage.”

Another adds:

“I am very disappointed in these pills and the false advertisements about what they can do.”

Although positive reviews are vastly outnumbered by the negative ones, a great many customers do report satisfactory results, as indicated by the sample comments below.

“This really works. I saw results in the first week.”

“Lipozene is amazing. I made no changes to my diet, but I still lost weight.”

Lipozene Potential Side Effects

The manufacturers state there are no reported side effects, but many Amazon reviewers state the capsules made them feel unwell.

Reported side effects include:

Nausea

Increased stool frequency

Increased appetite/weight gain

Heartburn

Vomiting

Pregnant or nursing mother are advised against taking any form of weight loss supplement. People with existing health issues should consult their doctor prior to commencing supplementation.

Where To Buy Lipozene

Lipozene is available via the Amazon marketplace, but customers based in Australia (or outside of the US and Canada) will probably find it easiest to purchase capsules from the official Lipozene website. Shipping is normally free and all purchases are protected by a 30 day money back guarantee.

Each bottle contains sufficient capsules for one month and costs around AUD$ 40. This is not particularly cheap for such a simple formulation, but the manufacturers generally throw in a second bottle of Lipozene free of charge, along with a complimentary bottle of their MetaboUP Plus metabolism boosting pills.

Recommended Alternative

Our preferred diet pill isn a combination appetite suppressant and fat burner called PhenQ. PhenQ is available to buy direct from its own official website and ships worldwide.

PhenQ contains premium pharmacy grade ingredients as well as more natural components.
